Muir book
traces hidden past of a father
and a country
It was a chance encounter with a fellow graduate
student at Stanford University that gave Dr. Sharona
Muir the first glimpse into her father’s
hidden life and psyche.
Muir, creative writing and English, is the daughter
of Itzhak Bentov: Slovakian immigrant, narrow
escapee of the Holocaust, successful medical inventor,
popular New Age author and—she was to discover—the
creator of Israel’s first rocket.
In her memoir, The Book of Telling: Tracing
the Secret of My Father’s Lives, to
be published in June by Schocken Books (an imprint
of Random House), Muir relates how a remark by
a young man she had just met—that their
fathers had served together in Israel’s
secret Science Corps—led to the excavation
of her father’s life before and during Israel’s
war of independence. Her investigations also brought
to light a chapter in that country’s history
that has not been previously explored.
